It's getting on towards the time when Fall migration brings the peeps in. These were shot on the Essex River last Saturday. These are mostly Semipalmated Sandpipers. There could be some Least Sandpipers and Western Sandpipers in there too.

...must be amazing to watch these huge flocks come in. I imagine I would spend a lot of time with camera in hand wandering the beaches! Lovely images... (appropriate for the ocean, my Word Verification was "waveli") :-)

I've been unable to keep up with blogs for last week, but your photos are wonderful - especially the preening tern. I'm off tomorrow for a pelagic trip, then some birding on Plum Island - hope the shorebirds are there in numbers - and great shots!

Yes, they are gathering aren't they. I've noticed the Swallows as well forming large groups lately. Soon they will be gone (if they haven't already left) like so many who have made the journey before them.

Seems this may have been one of the shortest summers in recent memory. Capture those birds while you still can!
